Griffiths Norwich - #2 H&R  3/16  $45.00
John Elsworth Glascow #5 H&R 3/8 Skewed $50.00

All of these are in nice shape, and other than with some light sharpening
ready to use. 

R. Carter - Troy NY.  #18 H&R 1 3/8.  Nice pair, dark patina, round has a
small dig out of the side by the sole, doesn't affect use.  Irons (one is a
W.S. Butcher, other can't read) are good at the cutting edge.  $50.00

H&R Singles

William Ward New York Maker (**)
#14 Round
#16 Hollow
Both with the N. York mark and no street address.  Both were pretty rough,
cleaned up okay, need some serious shapening attention.  $20.00 each
or$35.00 for the pair

Copeland #24 (2") Round.  Been reprofiled and is rough on the one side,
Good user. $14.00 (Small hanging hole) 

Side Beads..Lots of larger sizes, all really crisp and ready to use.

Auburn #105 1/2
D. Malloch Perth 5/8 Bead
Shiverick 3/4 Bead
H. Chapin #123 Single Boxed

All really nice tight, larger side beads.  $22.00 each

Gardner & Murdoch Green Street Boston 1 7/8 bead (I think).  Interesting
plane.  The cut is 120 deg which is too steep for a hollow, too shallow for
a nosing plane (180).  Might be a forkstave, but is sprung and could
actually be used as a center bead.  1" sliver missing off the one side,
other than that a good user and a good collector (**).  $45.00

M. Long (Reading PA). 1/4 Bead.  Collector piece, not really usable.  $35.00

Misc.

Look at this..mahagony coffin bodied mast plane.  Unmarked, 2" W.S. Butcher
double iron, flat chamfered with nice scribing detailing the chamfers.
Mouth is open a little and one cheek has been repaired with a cooper tack,
however this is a really beautiful piece that is still usable. $45.00

Rabbets

Auburn Tool Co.(1864-1893) #181 2" Skew Rabbet.  Been around the block once
or twice, but a very tight mouth.  $25.00

Sargent & Co #356 1/2 Straight Rabbet  $18.00

Everlasts

Everlasts..first is a 15/16..funny size, but it doesn't look like it has
been ground.  2 3/4 blade (thats the square portion, 7 7/8 over all, barely
visible SW logo, handle has a small but long chip missing and a split about
the same plane.  Other than that, good shape.

The next is a Merrill & Wilder..these were the guys that Stanley sucked up
to get the Everlast line.  What should be a 1/4" has been ground down about
1" to 3/16.  4 3/8 blade, 9 3/8 overall.  This guy has a slightly bend, but
overall isn't bad.

$17 each or $30.00 for the pair.

Chisels & Gouges

Marples 1 1/4 6" tanged gouge  Incannel $12.00

Misc.

Wooden Shoe Size Rule  Belcher Bros & Co. NY.  Nice shape both scales
readable $40.00

User made mahogany panel gauge.  9 5/8 wide head, 19 3/8 wide bead.  Not a
perfect piece, but usable and looks great.  $20.00

8" (Cut) Greenlee Drawknife.  Another used once and put away drawknife.
Super clean, needs sharpening.  $30.00

Neat smaller carpenter's hatchet.  Hammer has an octogonal head, overall
length is 4.25, axe blade width is 2".  Really nice collector item.  $35.00

Pexto, this time a hewing (or broad) hatchet.  4 3/4 cutting edge, 6 3/4
overall length.  Appears to have the original handle.  Also has PEXTO cast
into a 2 1/2 by 1 1/8 oval on the "up" side of the head. Needs to be ground
back 1/8 to get rid of a back bevel, and has some very minor mushrooming on
the back side. This is a good user and a great collectable.  $65.00

Double Iron (Straight & Concaved) iron spokeshave, similar to a "New
Britain"  #60.  Only marks are on the irons "Best Cast Steel, Warrented".
